The kids were hooked.
“They became little gardeners,” Gloddy said.
In 2020, just two years after planting in the
boxes, the garden moved to its larger quarters
at the front of the school.
“We ran with it,” Sinigoi said.
Love, lots of sweat and inventive fundraising
has kept the garden growing.
“We sold plants, seedlings, terrariums and
everyone knew that every penny was going to
the garden,” Gloddy said. “There is no money
for the garden otherwise.”
Volunteers, mostly seniors from the commu-
Nasturtiums and other e >> dible flowers are kid magnets at the Melbourne Beach school.
at Gemini, his mom wanted him to continue
the gardening experience and enlisted the
help of fellow Gemini mom Carly Sinigoi and
a few more volunteers.
At first, the garden grew modestly in two
abandoned 4-by-6 planting boxes, which
produced a remarkable crop.
“We had the most amazing vegetables,”
Gloddy said, still marveling at the 14-pluspound
cabbage the students harvested.
